Rahim made the decision to get away from Cricket Odi after Bangladesh’s National Cricket team faced an early departure from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 after offering bad performances.
Under the leadership of Najmul Hossain Shanto, the Asian team lost its opening of Dubai tournament against the National Cricket team in India for 6 WICKETS.
Then, in their second game, the Tigers were decimated by the National Cricket team in New Zealand that confirmed its departure from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Bangladesh’s last game was against the National Cricket team of Pakistan’s hosts, but that game washed due to the rain continues like the Tigers and Green’s men ended up without winning in the group stage.

Allah says in the Qur’an:” Wa Tu’izzu Man Tasha ‘Wa Tu’zhilu Man Tasha’ ” [And He honours whom He wills, and He disgraces whom He wills](3:26). That Almighty Allah forgives us and gives all the righteous to all, “he said.
“Finally, I would like to deeply thank my family, friends and my fans for whom I have played the Crick for the last 19 years.”
